Licensed Waste Hauler in Denver

If you’re transporting solid waste, recycling, or organic materials for a fee in Denver, you’re legally required to obtain a Waste Hauler License. At Dumpster Dogs, we’re proud to be a fully licensed waste hauler in the City and County of Denver, operating with full compliance and commitment to transparency, environmental responsibility, and professionalism.

This post breaks down the requirements, application steps, and why working with a licensed hauler matters—whether you’re a contractor, developer, or property manager.

🚛 Who Needs a Waste Hauler License in Denver?

The City and County of Denver require any business that collects and transports solid waste, recyclables, or organic material for a fee to obtain a Waste Hauler License. This includes:

• Roll-off dumpster companies

• Junk removal providers

• Commercial compost and recycling haulers

• Construction and demolition (C&D) waste haulers

Unlicensed hauling is a code violation and can lead to fines, permit denials, and project delays.

📝 Denver’s Waste Hauler License Requirements

To get licensed, haulers must meet specific requirements outlined by the Denver Department of Transportation and Infrastructure (DOTI):

✅ Key Requirements Include:

• Quarterly tonnage reports: You must submit detailed reports of collected and disposed materials to support Denver’s zero-waste goals.

• Vehicle signage: All trucks must display the company name, license number, and contact info clearly.

• Visible container labeling: Dumpsters and containers must indicate acceptable materials to prevent contamination.

• Proof of insurance and business licensing: Liability coverage and good standing with the Colorado Secretary of State are required.

The license is renewed annually, and you must remain in compliance throughout the year.
